On May 26, 2026, Pope Leo XIV released his first encyclical titled 'Magnifica humanitas.' This document has drawn attention for its focus on the intersection of faith and artificial intelligence.
Historian Alberto Melloni has analyzed the encyclical, suggesting that it not only envisions a different world but also urges individuals to take action in creating that world.
The encyclical represents a significant moment in the Catholic Church's engagement with contemporary issues, particularly the ethical dimensions of technology.
